Sunset: Two Suns???

Amma’s mother passed away this week. (Amma is my spiritual teacher.) Her mother was 97. On the day she passed, Vedavati snapped this sunset photo. It looks like there are two suns but it is more likely to be a reflection of some kind. Still, it seems significant that it happened on the day Amma’s mother passed.

Nirmala (AKA Gavi) and Carlos’ Boat Journey to the San Juan Islands (US) and the Gulf Islands (Canada) August 2022

Nirmala in summer disguise!
Roche Harbor, San Juan Island

Picture is showing sandstone formations known as Malaspina Galleries on Galiano Island,

The next three photos were taken from the top of Mt Galiano in the Gulf Islands in Canada.

A day on Stuart Island, hiking six miles to lighthouse and back to boat. The photos below are from that day.


North Carolina Waterfall

Here are some more notes from Vedvati’s trip. The words and photos are hers except a few updated words for the blog format.

Sooo fantastic!! It is named Dry Falls which is crazy because these falls are definitely not dry. The Falls are near Franklin, North Carolina.

We walked behind the falls.

The photo below shows the rocks under the waterfall. See how they are a bit smoother than the rocks nearer the front in the video?

This reminded me so much of Amma, my spiritual teacher, and how she patiently smoothes away our rough edges.

Look at the water drops. When the water falls down, the drops look like the water is dancing! Sooo much fun!!

The river after/below the falls.

Driving on the mountain road after leaving the falls. Sooo wonderful!
